Student Character Values of Educational Pragmatism Products

Abstract

The school of pragmatism philosophy can solve urgent problems quickly. But on the other hand, pragmatism does not look at whether a solution to the problem is ethical or not. This study then aims to look at the critical evaluation of systems and practices of pragmatism in the world of education. This research was carried out using qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach. The results of this study then found that educational pragmatism aims to meet the urgent needs of students. In this case, an example is online learning that was carried out during the Covid-19 period, when education could still run efficiently. Unfortunately, the pragmatism of education causes its implementation to be temporary and situational only. In addition, as a process that pursues efficiency, the quality of its effectiveness is not achieved.
